Wonderful Stay”

We were very impressed with Knysna Hollow Country estate because our stay was everything we wanted from our holiday. The location was so beautiful. Our place was clean, breakfast was good, the staff was very helpful and so friendly. Just the perfect place if you really just want to relax and unwind. A special thanks to the following staff: Martin, Dennis and our waiter Eric for serving us so well. Keep up the good work

Great place to stay”

Quiet surroundings, fireplace in room, great facilities.

We went to Knysna for the forest marathon and stayed at the Hollow for three nights. The room was very comfortable, with large bathroom with his and hers basins and shower. The best was the fireplace to crackle away on a cold evening. Only downside was no decent tv channels in the rooms only dstv in the bar area. Will stay there again.

Quaint thatched cottages”

Its like being in the countryside

very comfortable rooms, staff very attentive. lovely big bathroom. One of the people in our group was in a wheel chair and found it very easy to get around. The shower was wheelchair friendly. Breakfasts are really good. Restaurant and bar close earlyish.... recommend this place for a nice rest from a busy day.

Enjoyable stay”

Liked the informal atmosphere, the open landscape and general tidiness

Nothing significant

Accommodation, food and grounds maintenance were excellent and all staff extremely friendly and helpful. Only had two problems
- difficulty finding access to hotel because of roadworks (temporary problem and not the hotel's fault)
- extremely noisy diners one evening (again not hotel's fault).
Would reccomend hotel to others
